       Ethics

       Journalism ethics and standards comprise principles of ethics
       and of good practice as applicable to the specific challenges
       faced by journalists. This subset of media ethics is widely
       known to journalists as their professional "code of ethics" or
       the "canons of journalism".[1] The basic codes and canons
       commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional
       journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and
       online news organizations.
       While various existing codes have some differences, most share
       common elements including the principles of truthfulness,
       accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness, and public
       accountability, as these apply to the acquisition of newsworthy
       information and its subsequent dissemination to the
       public.[1][2][3][4]
       Like many broader ethical systems, journalism ethics include the
       principle of "limitation of harm". This often involves the
       withholding of certain details from reports such as the names of
       minor children, crime victims' names or information not
       materially related to particular news reports release of which
       might, for example, harm someone's reputation.[5][6]
       Some journalistic codes of ethics, notably the European ones,[7]
       also include a concern with discriminatory references in news
       based on race, religion, sexual orientation, and physical or
       mental disabilities.[8][9][10][11] The Parliamentary Assembly of
       the Council of Europe approved in 1993 Resolution 1003 on the
       Ethics of Journalism, which recommends that journalists respect
       the presumption of innocence, in particular in cases that are
       still sub judice.[12]
